Performing a Server Installation

If you are not installing to a server on a network, you can skip this section and proceed to Performing a Typical Installation.

A server installation is used for network installations. The EasyPower software is installed on a server computer and on other computers ("clients") on the network. The server manages the license service that the EasyPower program uses to authorize the software on each computer.

If you have a USB key for EasyPower, a server uses the red USB key. Other installation types use a purple USB key. The key is required during installation and must be inserted in the computer whenever you run EasyPower.

Note: For a server installation, there are two additional components installed: the HASP License Manager service and the Aladdin Monitor service. The installation for each starts automatically and is described below.

Important: For network installations, perform the server installation and activation on your network server before installing the program and activating it on your client computers. The server manages the program licenses and must be activated first.

Install the Software

To perform a server installation:

1. Insert the installation CD into your CD/DVD drive on the computer.
2. If the installation does not start automatically, open Windows Explorer and browse to your CD/DVD drive, and then double-click Setup.exe.
3. EasyPower requires certain software to be installed before you can install the program. If the installation detects any prerequisite software is missing, you are asked to install the software. Click Install and follow the prompts to install the software. The steps to install may vary slightly depending on which prerequisites are needed.
4. In the Welcome to the installation window, click Next.
